Do you struggle with the notion of loving people the way God has called you to? It is well known that God asks His children to love one another, yet living a life of love proves to be difficult in a society imbued with selfishness. Theology on the topic of love is not lacking; even non-Christians will freely speak about love. Almost everyone in today's society speaks of love with great conviction, but their behavior speaks of selfishness. Why is it so hard to live in a loving way when we talk so freely about it? Why is it that we can say we love our neighbors, and yet our neighbors don't actually feel loved by us? Jillian recognizes that there is a genuine need to have real-world advice on implementing God's call to love. The Call to Love lays out practical steps that can help you make vital changes in your life-changes that can help you shift your perspective and arrive at a place where you have more love to share. You may find yourself seeing others in a different light and feeling more able to love your neighbor with a true, godly love-and not just on Sunday morning! You already know the theology. The Call to Love shows you how to live it! Take the plunge and go from talking about love to living a life of love. You can be the change that society is longing for. Get ready to change your life and your world.

Clare and Zari are best friends. They write music together, go everywhere together, and they know everything about the other. At least they did before Zari started dating Dion. The more Zari falls for Dion, the less she has time for anything else. At first, Clare chalks it up to a new and exciting relationship, and she tries to be happy for her friend despite her loneliness. When Zari starts to show up to school with half-hidden bruises, Clare knows there's something darker about this relationship that has to be stopped.

“The best feel-good romcom you need right now.” Goodreads reviewer A mistaken arrest, an unpaid debt, and a trip to Vegas. Living in a small town where everyone knows your business isn’t easy. But when your dad is the business everyone talks about, it’s even harder. When Willa Montgomery becomes collateral to pay off her dad’s debt to local playboy Jameson Drake, she realizes things can always get worse. Forced to work for Jameson, she soon realizes there is more to him than meets the eye. Behind the delectable wrapping and gruff demeanor is a good guy who’s ready to help whenever Willa needs him. And the way he looks at her makes her think that the rumors are wrong. Because just maybe he doesn’t hate her as much as she thought. But has the former player really changed, or is he just warming up for his big game? This is the first book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romcom and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on. There’s no cheating and all my books have a HEA. #romanticcomedy #HEA #romcom #enemiestolovers #hotboss #alpha #broodyalpha #contemporaryromance #romance #quirky #funny #humour #humor #freebook #free #freeromance

Published to coincide with Pope Francis's Year of Mercy and the Vatican's canonization of Mother Teresa, this new book of unpublished material by a humble yet remarkable woman of faith whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, offers Mother Teresa’s profound yet accessible wisdom on how we can show mercy and compassion in our day-to-day lives. For millions of people from all walks of life, Mother Teresa's canonization is providentially taking place during Pope Francis's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. This is entirely fitting since she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God's mercy to those in need. Compiled and edited by Brian Kolodiejckuk, M.C., the postulator of Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, A Call to Mercy presents deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our everyday lives. In her own words, Mother Teresa discusses such topics as: the need for us to visit the sick and the imprisoned the importance of honoring the dead and informing the ignorant the necessity to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly the purpose to feed the poor and pray for all the greatness of creating a “civilization of love” through personal service to others Featuring never before published testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these ideas into practice, A Call to Mercy is not only a lovely keepsake, but a living testament to the teachings of a saint whose ideas are important, relevant and very necessary in the 21st century.

To be holy, is it enough to live a clean life, follow a few rules, and avoid bad company? We might say yes but still end up doing too much, too little, or nothing at all. What we need is a central idea to guide us. Relational Holiness offers us this very thing by inviting us to live a holy life that is most authentic when it is centered on love-the heart of God's character. Thomas Oord and Michael Lodahl present a fresh view of holiness that is not only engaging but also responsive to the yearnings of a postmodern generation. Book jacket.

Some things can come only when the Spirit takes over and somehow we become what we never thought we could be, because the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. There are occasions when those sighs come to the surface and we know that God has taken our hearts to places we did not know could exist. -- from Proper 12 sermon, "Strength Out of Weakness" Through fascinating anecdotes and stories drawn from his wide-ranging ministerial experience, Tom Garrison applies epistle readings from the Revised Common Lectionary to contemporary life. His powerful and insightful messages proclaim the good news, trumpeting God's amazing and unconditional love for us while reciting countless examples of how we can reflect that love in our everyday lives. His illustrations have a folksy charm, and readers will discover that the sermons of this veteran preacher provide plenty of nourishing food for thought. Sermon titles include: * The Pain of Caring (Romans 9:1-5) * A Living Sacrifice (Romans 12:1-8) * Who Am I to Judge Another? (Romans 14:1-12) * Living on the Edge (Philippians 1:21-30) Tom M. Garrison is the senior pastor of Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He has also served as pastor of congregations in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Nova Scotia (Canada). Garrison is a graduate of Alabama Christian College (B.A.), Southern Christian University (M.A. and M.Div.), and Columbia Theological Seminary (D.Min.). Additional graduate study has included independent preaching study with Fred Craddock. Garrison has taught ministry and homiletics at Southern Christian University (Montgomery, Alabama) and Atlantic School of Theology (Halifax, Nova Scotia).

As a single mother, Maddy Walkers life has been anything but easy, yet despite her pain and loss, she has committed her life to loving and serving others. Throughout the story, Maddys faith is stretched as God teaches her how to love, enabling her to touch the lives of many people in her community. When Maddy discovers that she is facing some serious health issues, she is tempted to withdraw, uncertain she has anything left to give. Her only prayer is to live long enough to see her daughter married and to know that Dani will be taken care of. But God is not finished with Maddy. When Isobelle Davis moves to town, God prompts Maddy to befriend her. Thrown into the midst of unwelcome change, Isobelle is struggling with feelings of anger and discontentment. Yet God uses what Isobelle views as a negative circumstance to provide an answer to Maddys prayer. In the process, Isobelles attitude is transformed and she gains new perspective as she is able to see how Gods hand was orchestrating it all.
